RESUMO
Marstacimab, an investigational human monoclonal antibody targeting tissue factor pathway inhibitor, demonstrated safety and efficacy in preventing bleeding episodes in patients with haemophilia. This multicentre, open-label study investigated safety, tolerability, and efficacy of long-term weekly prophylactic marstacimab treatment in participants with severe haemophilia A and B, with or without inhibitors. Adult participants were enrolled from a previous phase Ib/II study or de novo and assigned to one of two subcutaneous (SC) marstacimab doses: once-weekly 300 mg or a 300-mg loading dose followed by once-weekly 150-mg doses, for up to 365 days. Study end-points included safety assessments and annualised bleeding rates (ABRs). Of 20 enrolled participants, 18 completed the study. Overall, 70% of participants had treatment-emergent adverse events, including injection site reactions, injection site haematoma, and haemarthrosis. No treatment-related serious adverse events or thrombotic events occurred. Across all dose cohorts, mean and median on-study ABRs ranged from 0 to 3.6 and 0 to 2.5 bleeding episodes/participant/year respectively, demonstrating comparable efficacy to that observed in the short-term parent study. No treatment-induced anti-drug antibodies were detected. Once-weekly SC marstacimab prophylaxis was well tolerated, with an acceptable safety profile, and maintained long-term efficacy up to 365 days. (Clinicaltrials.gov identifier, NCT03363321).
